I went to a concert. And wrote a few sentences about it. And got put in the local newspaper for doing it. I know. You should all be proud. Read the full article here and my full review here.
04.28Tax Stimulus Rebate
I caught a few minutes of Good Morning America today… they were discussing the tax rebates coming with Bush’s economic stimulus package. Some crazy things: The man on the street had no idea what they’d spend the rebate on: “Ummmm… I guess I’d just invest it… in home improvements.” The average American family has over [...]
04.15Reading The News
I get a kick out of our local newspaper. Some of the articles are just so poorly written: Spacewalk on despite robot troubles–I just can’t read that without imagining giant robots attacking the space station. Hanford fire volunteer arrested for string of arsons–I’m assuming they get paid a fee per fire? Or maybe he was [...]

09.07Earth observatory…
The Central Valley is covered in smoke today. It’s crazy… Like Pucallpa, Peru crazy. I’m used to smog hanging over Fresno, but this smoke is heavy and low, almost like fog. It does bring back wonderful campfire memories though… Anyway, the reason for this post is to let you know about a cool website a [...]
07.11Dental fun…
This morning I’m headed into Dr. Takeda’s office for some endodontic therapy. Although I’m not too happy about the root canal procedure, I’ve heard that they’ve taken alot of the pain out of the process. Honestly, anything is worth it to stop the toothache…. Playlist for the day:-”Hurts So Good”-”Hit Me With Your Best Shot”-”15 [...]
